Default Disk Icon is not correct.

I have 6 drive icons that show up when I click on my computer. One of the
disk icons looks like a piece of paper with the upper right side folded like
a little triangle. When I double click on this icon, I get the microsoft
search window. When I double click on any of my other drives, the contents of
the drive is displayed. I can display the contents of the drive with the
wrong icon by right clicking on the icon and selecting open or explore. How
do I get my XP 64 system to display the usual disk icon?
